The Moth: Victoria Morey

Victoria Morey is a beloved member of the Wesley Foundation. She joined us early this school year and immediately jumped at any chance to be a part of community events. She has grown so much in such a short time, being faithful to the calling that God has had in her life. Tori is a studio art major, and she shares herself in her work, painting or writing. Tori always has the best stories and is honest about who she is. She wrote a poem for us this week. She said this about it:

It's about my journey with God and the struggles I've gone through to get to where I am. It seemed like I would never be where I wanted to be because I didn't trust or believe in God. As soon as I started believing and realizing it was okay that other people couldn't see the progress of my faith, I felt better. I didn't feel like I was pretending to be a Christian anymore and now have hope for the future. I wonder if anyone can see my progress still but know that it shouldn't matter. 

“The Moth”

As he split open his cocoon

He struggled to get out

His new form unfamiliar

He could not reach the spout 

Of water that ran down a leaf

He struggled and struggled so far

But then he made progress

That no one could see

And finally that moth

Once a crumpling Caterpillar

Reaching for water

And for life

Now can fly through the open sky

But only once he splits open his cocoon

And finds his form familiar again

Will anyone including him

See his accomplishments in God's light

We love Tori and the joy her smile brings!
